I always felt a sense of betrayal when someone sought a new partner after their spouse dies. But when I read a passage by Freeman Dyson about Feynman's trip to Santa Fe to meet his new girlfriend, my view has significantly shifted. Dys

You can hardly blame the school for that though. As others have said, it's not possible to cater to every student's interest and ability, so compromise has to be made and consequently things turn uninteresting. Also, there's

You've gotta check if they published their GPG signature somewhere else before, either in their social media pages, internet web cache, or forum.

But they'll forgive it if they look better than what they've always thought. Just a bit better, not overdone. There's a sweet spot.

It's funny seeing American blame other unfriendly countries for their new problems, especially when it's ubiquitous on mainstream media. Odd that no one has blamed China, or Russia, or any aggressive foreign state for their overwe

Ah, come on. Stop with the 'everyone is our enemy' America-centered xenophobic mindset. The issues with Tiktok are of the same family with issues of other social media, or internet phenomena. Other countries, other communities are

What men hate is excessive, badly done makeup. Most men would prefer the 'natural looking', which is actually makeup, but well done. People wouldn't notice a good makeup, but a bad one they will remember. Most men wouldn&#x27

After playing with AI generated human photos for a while, now I've come to appreciate (little edited) real photos and people in real life much more than before. I love the flaws, the imperfections, the characteristics, the deviations t

> This is just a sd checkpoint trained on output of Midjourney Which is sub-optimal -> bad. You don't want to train on output from an AI because you'll end up with a worse version of whatever that AI is already being bad at

Haha. This reminds me of a Redditor's story. Despite having no money to afford professional hardware, he still managed to take good astronomy photos using his phone. In one of his posts, his photos impressed a "kind stranger"

Well, seeing this in the light of recent news is kinda ... hilarious?

Ironically, many contractors for this telescope are in military industry.

I guess it's mostly from dark matter.

People forget things fast. JWST as a telescope is great, but as a project, is catastrophic. Massive budget overrun, delay after delay. It's certainly the sign/result of project mismanagement. Unless they figured out what's wr

The origin of the name was due to a mistake of Steven Weinberg: "In his recent book, The Infinity Puzzle (Basic Books, 2011), Frank Close points out that a mistake of mine was in part responsible for the term “Higgs boson.” In my 1967

When a narrative fits one's belief, they won't stop to question its validity.

Looking back at this thread, it's funny that there's always debunking of myth debunking.

You think they'll keep that price for forever?

3 buck per month? Family sharing for 5 buck? Nah, this is the typical bait&switch strategy (same as Netflix). It is cheap now. But it won't be cheap in the future.

Was taught in college that if we get stuck, just move on forwards, things ahead can clear that up. And it works in this case for me. That part really doesn't matter much. At the end of the day, our brain is not a linear programming int

People forget that it knocks so many people down at once in a short time, and with quarantine rules in force. It is more contagious than flu/cold. Imagine what would happen every year in winter if this becomes the new normal.

I'd imagine they just cannot fabricate the mirrors as many as they want. The mirrors, arguably the most important parts of any telescope or optical instrument, need delicate manufacture due to the required precision. At the end of the

This again reminds that having all your own population gotten 3rd jab (or n-th jab) won't make the pandemic disappear. Meanwhile rest of the world hasn't got their first dose of a reliable vaccine.
